A complete guide to what's inside the Anne Frank House
What’s inside the Anne Frank House
Secret Annex
In 1942, on July 6, the Frank family went into hiding at Prinsengracht 263. Besides the Franks, the Van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer, in hiding, stayed on the top floors of the secret annex in the back house. When Otto returned from Auschwitz, the Secret Annex was stripped bare by the Nazis and was later opened as a museum in 1960.
Anne Frank's room
Anne shared a room with Fritz Pfeffer, which led to regular arguments about their shared space, especially the desk that Anne wanted for writing her diary. She wrote her thoughts in her diary and hung picture postcards and her movie star collection to brighten her room.
Diary room
While hiding, Anne wrote in her diary and notebooks, which she had received on her 13th birthday. When she heard diaries were being collected after the war, she rewrote her diary. Her rewritten version of 215 loose sheets is displayed alternately in the museum. In addition, the Beautiful Sentences Book with quotes, and the Story Book with her short stories are also displayed.
Exhibition
A History for Today tells the story of Anne Frank against the background of the Holocaust and World War II. A catalog, a DVD, and a handbook for guides accompany the exhibition. In many countries, there are follow-up activities such as teacher training courses, theatre presentations, and educational projects for school students.
